re: post #6 My DELETE button is one of the most used keys on my computer keyboard.

I receive several hundred or quite a bit more (depends on what day is) e-mails. Sometimes an e-mail subject line may read for example "a message from Robert."

Sometimes, it really is a message from Robert or Linda or John etc. commenting on a web site or article, etc. Many times though, it's just another bulk/garbage e-mail.

I guess the point is though, from the "You Can Find Anyone, Anywhere" to "Hot Chicks in Action now" to "Enlarge your penis 3 sizes;" I never signed up for this garbage. I semi-appreciate those messages that put the term "ADV." in the subject line. I delete those right away.

If you want it, keep it. If you don't want it, toss it. Junk snailmail or junk email, makes no difference. The price of any communications system is commercial use. To elimate commercial use is to either eliminate the communications system or eliminate the capitalism that drives the commercial use of it.

I'll keep the email system and the capitalism, myself.

I occasionally like porn, myself. But oddly enough I seldom get "adult content" emails. But you get hundreds? Kinda makes me wonder what "system" they use to determine who they send stuff to.

I get a lot of other junk mail. I just delete it. Every once in a while, something worthwhile comes along. My brain is a more than adequate "filter".

I am glad that the poster called for consumer action, rather than government action. Nice to see people taking care of themselves, for once.
